About

In a special tribute to the centenary of Henri Dutilleux’s birth, the Seattle Symphony releases a commemorative box set of its critically acclaimed survey of all of the composer’s major orchestral works. The three-disc set features Ludovic Morlot and the Seattle Symphony in immaculate and thrilling performances of some of the composer’s greatest works, an essential collector’s item for lovers of 20th-century French music — or indeed anyone who loves virtuosic orchestra music performed at the very highest level.

With naturalistic imaging, depth of field and dynamic range, all Seattle Symphony Media recordings have been engineered to audiophile standards and aim to capture as realistically as possible the sound of the orchestra performing on the Benaroya Hall stage.
